Automatically insert the current date at the opening

How can I have a text field automatically up to date with the current date of the system at the beginning of the document clock?

I have a read-only text field called "Today's Date" and I can get this works using the following script:

this.getField("Current_Date").value = util.printd ("mmmm dd, yyyy", new Date());

Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to be very consistent.  How can I get it to run and check again the clock system to the current date, each time the document is opened?

Thank you in advance for your help!

You must place it in the form of script at the level of the doc, so that it runs every time

the file is opened. Look under Tools - JavaScripts - Document JavaScripts.

  • [Quebec] What is the best way to echo the current date? PHP sql

    I have a form of insert, that insert information, text whith fields.

    one of the text fields to insert the date.

    I want to echo the current date in this area as a value so deafault and small editable, so if I want to insert something with the old date, it is possible.

    So what's you're the best average of the date of the echo in a text field?

    If the date should be inserted into a MySQL database, it must be in the right of MySQL of YYYY-MM-DD format. This automatically insert in a text field, use echo and date() to fill the value attribute as follows:

    
    

    Definition of the attribute value as it allows to automatically insert the date, but it remains editable. However, the problem is that you cannot guarantee that the user will fill out the date in the correct format for MySQL. It is usually best to have separate for each part of the date fields and use PHP to rearrange them in the correct format before you submit the value to MySQL.

    (1) it is not the right way to fill a primary key column. In addition to being very ineffective (as the table grows, grows the amount of work required to count all rows), it does not work for multi-user applications (number of sessions repeatedly see the same indictment and that you are trying to insert the same value).

    (2) the right way to generate primary keys is to create a sequence, i.e.

    CREATE SEQUENCE seq_student_id
      START WITH 1
      INCREMENT BY 1
      CACHE 100;
    

    and use this sequence in your INSERT statement, i.e.

    INSERT INTO students( stud_id, stud_no, stud_name )
      VALUES( seq_student_id.nextval, <>, <> );

  • Muse produced automatically from the "canonical" tags for phone and tablet, but it does not include "www". How to fix?

    So if I have my site j - 26.com redirect to www.j-26.com then my canonical url should be: " " http://www.j-26.com/ "right? "

    Adobe Muse automatically inserts the tags for the version of phone as " " http://j-26.com/ "is there a way to fix this or should I switch my www.j-26.com redirect to j - 26.com? "

    It's a kind of confusion so I hope it made sense.

    Muse is to use what you entered the download to the FTP host domain... or export as HTML dialog boxes.

  • How to create an automatic text field - has a date of three years from the current date?

    I'm trying to create a PDF form that is automatically entered a three-year expiration date in the future of the current date in a created text field.

    Text field name: ExpDate

    Text field format: mm/dd/yy

    So far, I entered in the following in the Page Properties-> Actions-> Add Action (trigger = Open Page, Action = run a JavaScript script):

    var ExpDate = new Date();

    ExpDate.setYear (ExpDate.getYear () + 3);

    var f = this.getField ("ExpDate");

    f.Value = util.printd ("mm/dd/yy", ExpDate);

    We will attend the correct expiration date the day where I do the certificate (i.e. There will be 07/06/16, June 7, 2016), but when I open it the next day will be always ready 07/06/16 instead of 06/08/16. I'm sure it is something simple that I need to change. Any ideas?

    If she says ' 07/06/16"on 7 June 2016, which means that it does not work properly, either, as it does not add 3 years to the date of the day... It should show ' 07/06/19.

  • from the opening, does not show the current date, need to manually refresh the page

    initially the opening firefox, it does not reflect the current date. I have to refresh the screen to go to the current date.

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    is past week or two, cause unknown

    A possible workaround is to use to remove the navigation, search and download history on Firefox to clear the cache of the browser on the output. That will make Firefox load pages from the server instead of using the version in the cache.

  • JavaScript to automatically update the date on the form, when you open it every time?

    Hello

    I was wondering if I can get your expert help once more,

    I have a form with the script below, however everytime I open the date does not change the current date I need? Do not understand where I am going wrong with the script below?

    Download current date object system

    var oNow = new Date();

    Set the value of date formatting string

    Event.Value = util.printd ("dd/mmm/yyyy", oNow);

    Thank you very much

    This means that it will also launch when the value of any other field is changed. If you want to run when the file opens, then you must change the last line:

    this.getField("Field_Name").value = util.printd ("dd/mmm/yyyy", oNow);

    And it's a script at the level of the RFSO, under Tools - JavaScript - Document JavaScripts.

    I'm working on a model of newsletter and would like to have a text box with the current date automatically generated and placed in it.  Is this possible?  If so, how can I do to do this?

    Type > text Variables > change or Release Date

    You can change the variable by modifying

    MMMM YY for June 10 etc.

    Modification date will change when you save the document (F5 to refresh)

    Output will change on the output file.
